Inside this life, 
Under it's spell, 
I close my eyes, 
And live to tell. 

The hands we're dealt, 
Will never disappear. 
Death she grows near. 

People change, 
And instantly. 
I'm not the same girl, 
I used to be. 
I can't erase all the memories, 
But I can explain, 
If you're listening. 
People change, 
Not just me. 

Locked up in silence, 
living [bad word]  
My heart still beats, 
So I bid farewell. 
The loving hand that saved me, 
Held too tight. 
His darkness weighs 
On me at night. 

People change, 
And instantly. 
I'm not the same girl, 
I used to be. 
I can't erase all the memories, 
But I can explain, 
If you're listening. 
People change, 
Not just me. 

I never asked, 
Or wanted to. 
You stepped across my threshold, 
How could you?
